The massification of communication systems and transportation is a fact
that is
affecting
people
customs around the globe, I strongly agree with
this
point of view. In
this
essay
Add a comma
,essay
show examples
I will share some examples of it.
To begin
with, the global population shares information every day, almost every
second
, with
people
on the other side of the world.
This
phenomenon is changing gastronomy, activities that
people
do, fashion etc,
this
new trend definitely affects the cultural identity of a region.
For example
, there is a well-known festivity
that is
practised in Mexico, it is called, the day of the dead,
that is
celebrated on November
first
, during
this
activity
people
celebrate the life afterlife, they set an altar with pictures, flowers and
food
to honour the person who passed away,
this
practice has started to being practising in other countries.
Although
, gastronomy has been affected, nowadays, there are a lot of websites where
people
can find recipes from different countries, they can choose a restaurant with Mexican
food
, Italian
food
, china
food
etc.
In addition
, the transport massification has helped to these changes, because in the current days is easier and cheaper to take an aeroplane to visit another place, enjoy it and go back the same day,
this
is possible due to the competitive world, where companies try to attract costumers with offers and good prices.
For instance
, Avianca
that is
a well-known aeroplane company uses to throw offers during Christmas festivities, they sell tickets to The United States at a very low cost (300 US) round trip. To conclude, it is noticeable that the influence of globalization in terms of communication and transport around the globe has affected the culture of a region making a kind of mixer between them.
